Hi, i want to convert a database field (long integer) yyyyMMdd to date (yyyy-MM-dd). How can i do that with jasper ? I tried some expressions in the expressions editor - without success... This works if the intValue is greater than 0 - new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format($P{IntValue}) otherwise the SimpleDateFormat contains crap (0 is not valid) - is there a way to make a check if the value is > 0 in the expressions editor (if ... else seems not to be allowed) Greetings BratMaxxe Post edited by: Bratmaxxe, at: 2008/05/23 05:07
